The following is from the Horse Feathers BBS
100/105: Are we talkng Wicked or Nasty here?
Date: Tue Mar 28 18:11:02 1989
Under "Wicked:" a memorable ride along Northern State Parkway during which
I developed appreciation for cruise control, tilt-wheel, radar detector,
tinted glass and Michelin radials. Not to mention my female passenger. Did
you know, if you raise the steering wheel all the way, there's JUST enough
room...
Under "Nasty": In Rome, Italy, once; a bunch of us Russky exiles
wandering aroun in search of trouble, when -- Hark! A familiar language
spoken! We turn to find a group of obvoiusly SOVIET tourists. Now for a
Soviet to be in Italy AS A TOURIST back then (1976) meant that he/she passed
through ten kinds of security checks AND did soething to deserve the very
special treat. We were face to face with loyal running dogs of the
proletariat.
One of us had a bright idea. He walked up to the last one in line and
whispered to him:
"Comrade. A provocation is being planned against you. Immediately:
break into pairs and scatter through the city. You will be contacted."
From our vantage point on the stairs of the Vittrio Emmanuele Secondo
Monument we watched the word ripple up the line; we watched the group disperse
in the crowd until only the tour guide and the KGB nanny remained, standing
there looking extreely bewildered...
I think they must STILL be looking for those tourists.
